Apple Is Replacing Some iPhone 5 Batteries

Plenty of people complain about their smartphone’s battery life. For some iPhone 5 owners, their issues are legit.

Apple on Friday said it was replacing a “very small percentage” of iPhone 5 units that suddenly experience short battery life or need to be recharged too frequently. The phones were sold between September 2012 and January 2013. For those affected, Apple will replace the battery free as long as the phone doesn’t have other damage, like a cracked screen.
